The Rarity: The Alchemist Heady Topper
The Replacement: Peekskill Brewery Double Standard or SingleCut Billy Full Stack
Over the last few years, Vermont’s the Alchemist has solely specialized in 16-ounce cans of pure lupulin bliss known as Heady Topper. Demand is so intense that the tallboys sell out soon after exiting the canning line. Instead of road-tripping to end up empty-handed, try a worthy local offering such as piney, floral Billy Full Stack from Queens-based SingleCut or Peekskill Brewery’s tropical Double Standard.
